Were the sets hot or what?
Can't help but notice the actors are sweating throughout this movie, and I don't just mean in the action scenes. In particular Evelyn Ankers, who is sweating right through the pits of her long-sleeved shirt in her first scene, inside the antique shop. I don't know why, but it always makes me uncomfortable seeing people sweat in these old films...I'm like, take off the long shirt and wear shortsleeves! But it was the style of the time. Also, Chaney is sweating hard when he leans in to kiss Evelyn after the carnival...of course, you could chalk it up as his character's nerves, but still.
